industry and government, again. there needs to be creative steps to bolster the technical expertise of government through exchange programs with other countries and with industry. that is something that needs to be looked at very carefully. there needs to be continued focus on recruitment of engineers with an adequate level of expertise and efforts to retain them in the government. if you don't have regulators with appropriate training, things will slow down. the needs to be a focus on insuring adequate funding for the regulatory agency. additional substantial funding has been forthcoming. if that stops or slows, we are all in trouble. we do have a greater global cooperation on prevention, containment, and spill response issues. the advances that i talked about have all been done internally by the department of the interior. frequently it gets less credit than it deserves. it is noteworthy and extraordinary that two years after the spill there has been zero congressional action in response to the spill. thank you. >
